Angelina
Jolie will receive the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences' Jean
Hersholt Humanitarian Award, and Angela Lansbury, Steve Martin and Piero Tosi
will receive honorary Oscars during the fifthth annual Governor's Awards,
the Academy announced Thursday (Sept. 5). The awards will be presented in a Nov.
16 ceremony at the Dolby Ballroom at the Hollywood & Highland Center in Los
Angeles.

"The Governors Awards pay tribute to individuals who've made indelible
contributions in their respective fields," Academy President Cheryl Boone
Isaacs was quoted as saying in a news release announcing the honors this
afternoon. "We couldn't be more excited for this year's honorees and look
forward to bringing their peers and colleagues together to celebrate their
extraordinary achievements."

In addition to starring in films with social justice themes such as "A Might
Heart" and her feature directing debut, "In the Land of Blood and Honey," Jolie
"has worked for a number of global advocacy groups including the Council on
Foreign Relations and the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for
Refugees (UNHCR), for which she was appointed Special Envoy of High
Commissioner Antonio Guterres in 2012 after twelve years of service," the
Academy wrote in its announcement.

The Hersholt Award -- which, like the honorary awards, comes in the form of
an Oscar statuette -- is Jolie's second major award from the Academy. She
previously won a competitive Oscar in 2000 for her supporting performance in
the drama "Girl, Interrupted."

Three-time Oscar nominee Lansbury; the five-time nominated costume designer
Tosi; and comic actor Martin's awards are for lifetime achievements in the
motion picture arts. The awards will represent the first Oscar statuette for
each.
